Why? That would be the case i they wanted to connect - which is not 
unlikely for the future. I know cities in Sweden where building owners 
are monitoring the utilities via public connections and I know places 
where the road administration uses the public Internet for monitoring 
devices.

In you model they would use site-locals, but what happens the day they 
connect to the public Internet?
